California can say what they want. Heres the fact. My father lives in Cali, in some areas there are numerous “Pot Shops” with many “flavors” to choose from. The owners of a bunch of these shops paid $4 mil in taxes and were just recently busted by federal agents and shut down. Yup…open legal store per the State of Cali, were shut down and the owners are fighting it in court. Meanwhile, many shops remain open. All it takes is “stress” to get a prescription, or a hang nail. With the need for a prescription , it does not change the current federal stance. Kinda like radar detectors I suppose. > > I would like to try a few of the buds I saw on 20/20 or 60 minutes or whatever show did the story on this. I know Obama has told the DEA not to interfere with state law and leave the dispensary’s alone. But im sure with all the other problems that has gone to the back burner. I know the head of the DEA is one of bush’s appointments and he is anti-pot. I know I read a while back Obama had planned to replace him, but with the shit storm he’s turned this country into who knows if/when that will happen --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cali-is-legalizing-marijuana-not-just-medicinal-either/249698)._
